While we’re equipped to crush it at work, no one teaches us how to get smart with what we put in our bodies, budget our money around food, or navigate a grocery store and our kitchens.
Every day starts with a million tasks on our mind: Shower. Brush your teeth. Quickly throw on an outfit for work. Answer work emails. Grab a coffee and a breakfast sandwich from your local corner store.
Scarf your food down before you get to work. Sit at your desk, do your job (and do it well). Inhale a salad from down the street. Guzzle water. Get home exhausted. Order takeout. Pass out. Repeat.
Here's the thing: our bodies were made to be fine-dined + fueled.
It's time to leave the confusion and stress behind for good and learn how to have the best relationship with food, without ever breaking the bank.
You are here because there’s something inside of you begging to be seen, and you know something needs to change...
Scratch that - imagine how it would feel to break the current cycle...

Jackie Cherkas
I battled with my weight for 10+ years.
Throughout my life, food was always the center of my world. My entire family is from Ukraine, which means we are ALWAYS around food. You name it, for any celebration, promotion, birthday, or just good old bonding time, we were ordering takeout. Food was my home. I loved it so much I became a food blogger.
After graduating college, I started working in a fast-paced, high-stress tech environment. I loved it, but all of my time and energy went into work. I didn’t know a thing about eating healthy, what to eat during the day, or what to order when I was out with friends... within months, I gained 30 pounds.
As a young adult I was overweight, and I had no idea what to do about it - I didn’t even know where to start.
When I moved to New York, my food blogging passion project turned into a full-blown career. My life sounded amazing: I was getting treated to the best restaurants and my favorite brands were sending me incredible food. The glitz and glam was there, but the confidence and happiness in my own skin was not.
I took a step back from food blogging; my desire for wanting to feel good outweighed everything else.
I told myself there had to be a way to lose weight in a sustainable, healthy, and natural way. So I did the research, I applied what I learned, and the results were mind-blowing: I lost 30 pounds in three months and never looked back.
I became so deeply passionate about weight loss, I went to school to learn the ins and outs of nutrition, and became a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. On top of working 60 hours a week, I studied 40 hours a week. I did it because I truly believe there is no better feeling in the world than feeling POWERFUL in your own skin, and I wanted to help other people feel the way I do.
At its core, food changed my life in more ways that I can count. Food continues to heal me day-in and day-out and it fuels me to be the best version of myself every single day.
What can be more powerful than that?

Director of Marketing | Recruiting Firm #CorporateClimber
“I’ve spent the majority of twenties in a love/hate relationship with food, struggling to balance my love for eating with my desire to properly prioritize nutrition in my day-to-day life. Like many young professionals, I’ve often found myself trying to squeeze in quick meals in between meetings, often fueled only by coffee and unhealthy snacks throughout my work day. Needless to say, mindful nutrition and exercise have typically fallen to the wayside.
With the help of Jackie’s educational content, tips, recipes, reviews, and general daily motivation, I’ve not only been inspired to prioritize a healthier, more nutritious diet, but also kickstarted a full body transformation.
Jackie breaks it down to an easy science that anyone can follow. Through Jackie’s holistic approach, I’ve been able to simultaneously focus on building strength and endurance fueled by a carefully curated diet. With her guidance, a once intimidating world of confusing nutrition labels and equations has seamlessly become one that I’ve fully embraced. If you’re looking to prioritize physical wellness in your life, Jackie is your gal!”

“Before working with Jackie, I was constantly tired, hungry, and having pain from certain foods but I wasn’t able to understand why. I was also working out 5-6 days a week and I wasn’t noticing any changes in my body definition.
I wasn’t looking to lose weight, but to define and tone. Jackie was able to take a look at what I was eating and through her support, help me assess my diet and how I could make some tweaks that would help my overall health and moods.
She found that I was eating tons of sugar (a lot coming from foods that I thought were healthy), my macronutrients were out of wack, and I wasn’t drinking enough water throughout the day.
With Jackie’s clear simple teachings on nutrition, education on macronutrients and meal timing, she was able to help me with my sleep, body definition, and best of all, she allowed me to regain my energy by making a few quick swaps on what I was eating in my day to day.
Toning, body definition and feeling better were the goal. I ended up learning and taking away skills I can keep with me for the rest of my life.”

“For years I have had trouble maintaining a healthy weight, often fluctuating up and down and trying whatever fad diet is out there.
Since working with Jackie, I’ve been able to have a much healthier relationship with food and keep my weight stable.
Whenever I have any questions about a new food company, meal plan, or recipe idea, I can always come to Jackie for informed feedback on the nutritional value of anything I want to try. She is also a great motivator!
And her recipes are delicious too. I cannot recommend her more for any of your health and wellness needs.”

“In this world of instant gratification, I was always looking for shortcuts that would help me lose a ton of weight in the least amount of time possible. Fad diet after fad diet not only caused my weight to yo-yo, but also completely traumatized my relationship with food. I often felt confused, overwhelmed and defeated...just at the thought of going to a grocery store!
Jackie empowered me to take control of my diet and gave me the structure that I needed to be confident in making healthy and delicious meals for myself. With Jackie’s help, I’ve learned to listen to my body and nourish it in a way I could have never done myself. Health shouldn’t be a chore and if you feel that way, you need to call Jackie ASAP!”
